A garden is something in between a personal blog and a wiki.
- It’s a collection of evolving notes, essays, and ideas that aren’t strictly organized by their publication date.
- They’re inherently exploratory – posts are linked through contextual associations.
- They aren’t refined or complete - posts can be published as half-finished thoughts that will grow and evolve over time.
- They’re less rigid, less performative, and less perfect than the personal “blogs” we’re used to encountering on the web.
The Garden and the Stream: A Techno pastoral by Mike Caulfield is the original source of the concept of Digital Gardening
